    Went to an estate sale and bought my first antique Singer in a table. I offered $30 as it wasn't in top shape, but would be good to practice refurbishing skills. It was marked $50 and I left my number in case it didn't sell today. We didn't get out the door before she came and found me. It was her Gramma's and I had to promise to give it a loving home. No problem there. She then shared she had a Featherweight but wasn't ready to sell yet. Well she has my number, so maybe I'll get a call.
    Then onto Joanns with my 50% off coupon and I bought a June Taylor shape cutter because I read several posts of how nicely these worked. You guys really know how to spend my money!!

    If you have to much money - send it my way - I'll quilt it.

    This board has way too much "Peer Pressure" that's for sure.

    Congratulations on your great find and hopefully she'll call you when's she ready to let go of her featherweight.
